BOBBIN OR SPOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 507,124, dated October2 l, 1893.

Application filed October 27, 1891. Serial No. 409,988. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, RICHARD HAYNES, of Birmingham, in the county ofWarwick, and JOHN WILCOOK, of Manchester, in the county 5 ofLancaster,England, subjects of the Queen of Great Britain, have invented lcertainnew and useful Improvements in Bobbins or Spools for Yarn, Thread, Cord,or other Material, of which the following is a specification.

1o This invention relates to the bobbins or vspools upon which thread,cord or other material may be placed to be held or carried when beingunwound and it is designed with the object of providing a bobbin orspool which can be easily withdrawn from -or inserted in a full roll orball of the material without disarran ging the inner layers thereof.

It consists essentially of a bobbin, or spool, divided transverselypreferably at or near zo the center of the barrel or tube the two partsbeing tapered from the periphery ofthe flange to the center so that thebarrel or tube can be readily inserted in or withdrawn from the roll orball of material.

The invention will be fully described with reference to the accompanyingdrawings.

Figure l, is a front elevation of the bobbin prepared to receive a ballof twine (the twine being shownin dottedlines); Fig. 2,a sectional 3oelevation ofv same, and Fig. 3, an end elevavation of the bobbin stand.

The bobbin or spool A, is constructed with a central barrel or tube dwith a flange B on each end. The lianges B are of any suitableconstruction and are attached to the ends of the barrel or tube cz4 byany ordinary means, or formed integral therewith.

The barrel or tube d of the bobbin is at or near its center dividedtransversely so as to 4o form a bobbin in two parts, one part carryingone flange and the other part the other flange each part being taperedfrom the periphery of the flange toward the center.

The bobbin A may be of any size or any diameter and the barrel or tube amay be of any required length or diameter to suit the purpose ormaterial to which it is to be applied.

The two parts of the barrel or tube ct are irmlysecured together inanycon venientway. 5o In the drawings, a telescopic joint is shown oneend of the divided barrel fitting into the other. In this form the twomay be held together by the friction of the joint or a bayonet joint maybe formed thereon to hold them secure. When thus jointed together theparts take the form of an ordinary bobbin orspool.

Instead of being hollow, as shown in Fig.

2, to receive a movable spindle the bobbin may have a pivot fix-ed ineach end and the 6o spindle or pivots are mounted in a suitable frame E.

What we claim, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-

1. A bobbin or spool transversely divided across the barrel intoseparate parts each part provided with a flange at the outer end andtapering in a gradual curve from the periphery of the flange to thecenter of the barrel and the two parts connected firmly together 7o byan attachment on one with which the other engages substantially asdescribed.

2. In a bobbin for holding yarn or twine the combination of the twoseparate parts provided with flanges B at the outer ends each parttapering in a gradual curve from the periphery of the flange to thecenter of the barrel said parts being attached rmly together, a spindlepassing loosely therethrough upon which they rotate and the mov- 8o ablestand E upon which the spindle is supported substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.
